I am hoping for at least a month maybe 2 before I remove my mower deck and mount the snow blower... but I'm a lot farther south then you... :smile:KennyV

Hi Kenny. I am just hoping for two weeks. We had frost this morning and yesterday. I am slow as mollasses in january, but will be humpen to get er done. Dusty

You had frost already way up there in Canada? Well, you better get to it, then! It could be an early winter..... Better be safe than sorry!

I discovered several years ago, if I mount my snowblower on my ZTR before I need it ... I usually do not need it all winter... but if I fail to have it on, I am usually working in snow drifts before I can get it mounted... :biggrin:

Boy ain't that the truth. Dusty

Well I finally got started. I knew the tractor was in rough shape. That is the only way I buy them. But I have had tis tractor for almost two years. It has never let me down. Leaks oil leaks hydo fluid. I just make sure everything stays full. The clutch is frozen ( rusted to the pressure plate ). Hood and fenders are messed up or rusted or both. Wow. Well it should be fun.:biggrin: Dusty

Like your project ... and looks like you have a nice cozy work shop... BUT keep everyone updated on progress & future pictures... :smile:KennyV

I removed the fenders , hood and side panels and washed it as well as I could. Transmission was smashed in at some time and it looks like they tried to fix it with bondo. It leaks a little bit but the big offender is the mid pto seal. Trip to Kubota tommorow.:biggrin: Dusty

Castings/covers are sometimes easily broke... Looks like you are well into a GREAT restoration build... You will have a great little tractor in the end... Keep the pictures coming. :smile:KennyV
